The SPEAKER here intimated futile House that he had die :covered its the Petition a phrase, which it would be for them to decide, whether it did not` reflect on the privilege of that House, and'hedee render the Petition inadraissible in point of form. The Petitioner stated, that itt'.cousequence of a pledge given by the lien. Under-Colonial Secretary that the Petitioner should be per mitted to return to the Colony; to effect his purpose and collect evidenee, the . floiese had deeliiied to give any reply to the request of the Petitioter. 'Now' in his view of it, this was en inference the House could not suffer to be drawn as to the influence stated to be thus exercised. Mr. Secretary CANNING, admitting the force of the Speaker's decision on the point of form, said, lie however should not be dis posed to resist its being received , merely on that account.

Whenever this subject should be introduced to the notice of Parliament;' and which if it was to be, he hoped would be early in the next Session of Par liament, because suspense was more injurious even than the enact- Inca of the measure itself; they would regulate our interests ac cordingly, and make up our minds to endure an evil we could not prevent. , But in this revision he should implore Parliament to act with mature deliberation, and to recollect, that if they assisted one class at the ex - pence of another,. they would not be dispensing even-handed justice; to recollect too that Ireland in particUlar claimed its •attention, and that if agriculture was depressed, it. would he peculiarly banef u l to that part of the United Empire. Mr. H. SUMNER remained of the same opinion be had for merly expressed. 'To justify the House in adopting.these mea sures a strong case ought to have been suede out;.: but.Miniaters had made out none... since the 18th of last month, one-half of the Irish Membere,'who were particularly interested in the ques tion, had gene may. The importance of the subject was such that it ought not to be decided without a call of the House.— The effect of these measures had been already inj'arious to the markets. The original proposition was for an unlimited discre tionary power, and when it was fistula that it would not go down, it was changed. But how changed ? The Right Honourable Gentleman said that it was net now an unlimited power, but a power confined to the admission of 500,000 quarters of wheat. This quantity, in addition to 1100,000 now in the Warehouses, would amount to half the highest importation in any one year, And when the agricultural distress of 1820, 1821, and 1822, the effect of excessive importation, was recollected, he thought the limitation as to quantity now introduced into the measure, did not greatly improve its character. He thought,, it hard at a time when the Poor Rates upon the ageiculturatelasses were likely to. be increased by the.peramis hitherto employed in manu factories returning to their settlements, that their Ability to. pay them should be diminished by the ailmiasion of foreign corn: The Right Hon. Secretary for the Home IYepartment had not touched this part of his argument. Ho had indeed , lteard no ;tr. gement from that Right Hon. Qeutlentets,„ but ,isbat would be equally applicable to every . dissolution...of . ParliaMent. ' lie was determined to do his duty in that litiuseite. the . igricultural inte rest, and he,elioeld therefore certainly diridiitite. House . :upou the present,question. Mr. STANLEY•regretted the opposition this measure had ex, perienced from the landed interest. He was sure that it was cal culated to excite prejudice against them in the entwitete. He had been recently so engaguaf as to afford Itim the 'Opportunity of see ing the interior of the demeatic situation of • the suffering manu facturers. When he had seeti men working for 15 hours in the day, in order to obtain Os,* tfe.'w week; when he had seen them starVing with' theirinn tiii4 month after month, With no more than , onc meal, and that of oatmeal, -in the day; when he had witnessed the .exemplary patience , with which they had en• dured their sufferings; and the' noble pride which, in many in stances, had deterred them front applying , for parochial relief, he might be expected to come to this discussion with more warmth of feeling, than those who hail not had the opportn-• nity of witnessing tho"aettial operation of the distress. He perhaps, like a drOwnineman, - was glad to lay hold of the first straw that presented itself. From what he had seen, he might hail with joy the first ray of light which broke upon the, gloom ; but lie could not refuse his hearty approbation to . the present measures, which he thought calculated, at least in Nome degree, to alleviate the actual physical suffering, upon the unfortunate victims of calamity ; • and still more calculated to diffuse the moral feelings of gratitude arid satisfaction. The measure could net he, gild was not cousidered As a remedy to the distreas, for it did not profess to. go to its causes, any more than it could be considered as a decision of. the Corn Laws ; he de fended it only es a temporary and partial alleviation. He believed that it was not expected in the distressed districts, that the mea sures would snake specs alteration in the present state of things. Their animosity Was directed not against the Corn Laws but against the Power tows; the effect of which, when depression already existed, must be in the first instance - to' encrease the die fress of the I,lbooripg,popillation. ITO was surly thet these mea tures 044 Rik formil a partial alleviation, 11 any ; but they were deiiiitble air showing a sympathy with distress, as calculat ed to soothe the irritated minds of the working class,' and-to con ciliste dick feetilipeteifriiide . the higher classes of society.

What he complained of was, that he'did'not know' what the Government were about. An lion. Oentlethen on the Other side teemed to think it of great advantage that they should have the power of ehiftitig the price of corn et Plallarlesoar to "ffik4 R suit the view they took of the circumstances of the coun try fkoni time to time. Now, th i n he considered as the greatest POsq)le ovil. From the time when the' Corn Lawip Were firit agitated, when the Itight Honourable Gentlemen' opposite adve eeted'ihs.presont ,system ip 'Ala, be had. coostently opposed them, thinking tbe, amount of protection much too high, and - that they wen ! k ik o p t bi lvanen therefore any objec- Lion Whiel' he 'ili4;tilif in • g i: t ttre"iit'esOirinesiatire would not be owing t o ' ilitefOtint wltlek'jie - regarded' the .

The preeent sure also to ' pisiover, an the eantumer; the dealer, and the grower, were to be left without any other know ledge of what was to become of the price of corn, excepting that it was at the disposal of his Majesty's Government. The Hon. Member then contended that the Government had acted most in judiciously in touching the currency under the particular circum stances of the country. If they had left the ship to right her self, the distress would long since have subsided, they should have heard nothing of the want of food at Manchester, and the settlement of the question of one pound notes might safely have been left to the next year. Ily the course pursued by Go vernment all the distress was aggravated. The measures they adopted knocked from under 'all the little traders from one end of the country to the other,. thirlittle capital upon which they carried on their affairs. There had been no want of goods, or of market, all that they wanted 'lves capital with which trade could be carried on ; yet the Ministers ran heedle..ely and with out cause into a course whirls rendered capital far more scarce than it had been before. He said this to sheW the HouSe'what hands were to guide the reins:of that large and important power. which it WIN now proposed-itnientrust with the Government." Their conduct in respect to the present question had not been more satisfactory. The difficulties of 'the manufacturing dis tricts bad long been known to exist, and nothing was done; but as soon as a riot and some symptoms of insubordination took place, down came the night lion. Gentlemati-4e would not Say frightened, because their courage was equal fo*that of others— but in what the country thoUght a Nubs to ask for these extraordinary poWers. The distress had existed long before, and the only alteration was that some degree of Insubordination had been manifested. He understood that all the confusion awl alarm which had been excited by the agitation of the currency question, was to cud in this. He might be wrong, but be was informed that the Committee over which the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Home Department presided, had come to this con elusion, that in England there Were'to be no, orie,pound notes, in Ireland there were to be ,three pound notes, and in Scotland one pound notes were still to continue. This was to be the beautiful theory of our currency. He Was not then prepared to trust in their hands, whatever respect he might have for the Rt. Hon:Gen,. denten opposite, a power by which the price of food was to. he, regulated by aiqoversonent which had siliewn such inconsistency and vacillation:: If he were asked what measures could be adopted 'to give relief at the present moment, he should have• as much difllgiifty in answering as any one else. What he thought, they ought to.do was, to apply themselves at once to the whole queletion.sif ,the Corn:Laws, and d e libe ra t e ly settle it UP" g(YPe 1) the present ~. e oil svaa , iiis fi t, he declared that h e never saw a time when tle p connt•isqetleinen were more reasonable 'in their soiewisi:oes when lerainfht4liaire been' su willing to .go into a connuitteawith them for the istirpore.oftnyestigating the subject. With one exceptien„ : everkludy agreed that the ports should be open at a protecting ilutrk . the ooly question w a s the aineuntnt that duty. He should say 'that thus could only he ascertained by experiment. • Ile"ilitittlirthink that from fifteen, to eighteen shil lings would ssectitutroprite of between fifty-fid e and sixty she Bugs a quarter; and that was what he wished to 'eel! it... Yet, if they fixed such a zloty bow, he should got be iurprined if next year they were called upon to alter it. He did not know what was to prevent the inquiry taking place now., In the early part of the Session it a'a9 lead' that the mensure respecting the cur rency prevented it, because it was necessary to bring gold into the country to supply the vacuum iu our circulation ocatMoned.by the withdrawal of small notes. That objection could not now ap ply, because. by emptying the warehouses of Foreign corn, they would now' be filled up again. According to Mr Jacob's re port, the supply_ of corn on the Continent which could ,be sent here, was not very great; and that was because it had not been grown with , the expectation of an English market.: He should like to try the experiment now, while the German corn growers had not supposed that we were dependant upon them, and when corn could not be poured into the market• in' pitch overwhelming quantities as to create any alarming coolie euencei to our own froducers. Therefore looking at the quell 'ion of thecurreiwyot the quantity of corn in foreign coungiee,.., sud at the feeling with_ which the subject was liow enti. , ,rtaliied bt . the country gentlemen, he thought the best roams' was at oucelsl go into the question, to settle it, and to have done with it.' if 'tls4 sense of the. House in any way agreed with him,. wliat he elesuld' Propose would le,'*to ge back at once into Cotamitteo, and enter upon the inquiry into the 'state of the Corn Laws.

Upon this point also it had been stated by his Right Hon. Friend, and he believed to the general satisfaction of the House, that the reason of fixing the duty was, that there Was no inten tion-to alter the Corn Laws in any way tor this Act. He thought the criticism passed upon the Hon. Member's speech, by - the Honourable Member for Bramber was perfectly just. The Hon. Member complained that in the absence -of inquiry and present legislation, the agricultural classes would be left• in uncertain ty, that rents could not be valued, and that none of the ordi nary transactions between the landlord and 'tenant, or the. grower and consumer, could be proceeded with. Yet in the., same breath he declared that the utmost they could do would be to make an experiment, which they Might* be called upon to unmake in the ensuing: Session. He was . perfectly surprised to 'bear it , said that the rent of land iti this country was entirely governed by the state of the laws relative to foreign corn.— Untioubtedly, ' the introduction' of foreign corn would have some effect upon the value of land. But he was confident that in all the debates which had taken place upon the questions, there lied been no exaggeration so great, .on the part of both grower ann consumer, as that Price was in any material degree• affected by legislation. The Hem. Member recommended them.to take what he called a very simple measure, namely, to go back to the Com mittee and sit there for half-an-hour, and the whole question would be settled. Every body would be centented--there would be no difficulty about principle-4nd the'valee of rents and leases would be decided at once. If the Hon. 111:I.:ober really indulged awl utopian expectations,: he 'feared he would find them very greatly disappointed if brought to the trial. ''''' He did not intend to fellow the two Hon. Members into 'all.the details, but he would say one word as to the cuirenty. He did not know,' after the effects of that ever speculation, which had been going on for a year, and after the failure of sixty or seventy country banks, and when there was no longer any credit left in the country—..he did not know in . what way the 'Government could interfere with a remedy, or how they could tits well restore confidence as by providing against a recurrence of the' wane evils. 'He knew not what those Hon. Members would have done, bathe had heard nothing 'suggested from which any satisfactory result could have been 'looked for. When they thought it right to bring forward their budgets, the House would be able to judge of the remedies which they had to. propose. He :was surprised. at . the apprehensions exptossed by the lion. Member-for Bridgmiteh, ,that an alarm would be raised uniting th4'groWers of corn. , If, indeed, the Parliamentary meesuret , yould have. that effect, he would grant thht the reason iugs of the Hon. Gentleman were right. But it should be re- membered that there 'was another ground of alann--nainely, a deficiency-in the.quantity of corn, which would be necessary for the support of the country till the neit year. 'Now those two causes could not co-exist ; while one clam of persons apprehended the deficiency, to which he pointed, and required adoption of suitable measures, a second class called upon the House to guard against the other cause of alarm. And yet in whatever degree apprehensions were entertained with regard to a possible de fic,iency in the quantity of corn, the result must be a rise of ,prices, while an apprehension of the other sort must be productive ofa fall. : Such a quantity es 800,000 quarters (which was all the wheat ,at present in bond) could not have the effect of Creating any great depression. He had before stated that even a very considerable quantity could not affect prices. In this, he, alluded, to ,the . 400,000 quarters to which the discretionary power !Wits limited ; .and his Right Hon. Friends had sheWn that it was a measure to be acted on, only accordingly as the'eirtrum stanetsi of the times might render it necessary. Some :Hon. Members were for regulating the limitation by the prices, and the Hon. Member for Shaftesbury was for imposing a duty of 20e. while objections were variously raised by others against a stand ard duty and a standard price of corn. 500,000 quarters were Said to be all the grain that could now be found in foreign,parts. This he thought could he best ascertained by reference to the re port of Mr. Jacott;' but in the nature of things that quantity must vary, . and when once called into demand it must necessarily in orease,:' and 'be supplied by a quantity, even to twice the stated amount: • God forbid that the evil which the measure was de -,eigned to obyiete should occur; but in the present state of things ,would shy Man take npon,,him to say that it ought to be left un- ' , tiegardoa; ' Fort an instOce of the expeilieney of precaution in a t aselike 'the present, he *ousel recur to the.period of 1816. The harveenlef that year was a miserable one, and yet the ports were not opened till, the lfith of November. Though Corn was at the price of 100 s. It was impossible' to open them for the three .montlai . which intervened from the July preceding,., when the first pres sure of the scarcity was felt. Unless then it could be shown that . a deficient harvest was a thing of rare ott-orrence, such as fell out once perhaps in a century, and not such as might be expected to happen within the space of ten years, they could not rationally re fuse to concur in the measures now before the House. lie Was not in sensible to the wayin which the question affected the relations of atielety, as of landlord mid tenant ; but lie challenged the warmest . :advocate of the Corn Law to say whether he would 'leave the country under its operation for 10 weeks, without any remedy for the evils Which it might occasion. Ile did - notindeetl anticipate the inisfortune ; but;lts. 'bare possibility Was eimigh to justify them in.making prowl/drm against its oeourrenoe, and the state of the country, called upon- them to look with ,favour upon the pro -1,04(41 measure.

Gentleman, particularly, au to the inexpediency, of the time for going into the general questidn. He was surprised that Government should bring on the present question, as the Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs mug have known that it wou,l4.iniVitably bring on a discussion of the whole law relating to the sullied:. had nit heard a single statement to convince him of.the benefieial effects of the measure, which would be sure to throw Ilium on the landed interest. He thought it more ex 'pedient thalGovennetit should act on their own responsibility, and afterwards call fur an indemnity, if it were required. To. the matisUrnitif liberating • ihe bonded corn he had no objection, but he' could,not make any further concession. In'this lie spoke the sense of a very large body of agriculturists. ' • • Mr.. Secretary CANNING.—" I can assure the Hen.

It appears to me, Sir, that a great Viet OF iliii 'debate, I ikehie concluding topiiii of • the IlinioUrable liartsee* speech, has' , lieen very far wide of the practical question. That question' I take to be this—There still exists in , the country at .' the present • tittle a law for re • plating' the trade in' earn ;' a late enacted under particular circumstances, and Ivhich,, at the 'time, were ' constantly Mied all jUstifying its Introduction; Rod, of which laW it was considered ' that 'the' extreme provisions never . could • be ciirrie4 into operation., In thus stating the queothm, I am very fir from presuming to give an opinion, and certainly I do not wish that, any opinion ,thould be inferred from what I say, aa to whether or no, in a state of things'. such 7 as that in which we -now are, or whether or ,no, in an ordinlirY state, of things ' this law could b e suffered to go into full execution without inc onvenience to th e etiuritiy.'

Then, Sir, if GoVern , meat interfere, there are two ways by which the end in view way. be- attained, and also two means of intextvence of which the ; Government have choice. They can accomplish the object in view by a permanent alteration of the law, as recommended by the Honourable Member for' Taunton- (Mr. 13aritig),.. alur others ; or they can devise some measure adapted to the par ' ticular case with which they are called upon to deal. Tlie hot means, of which Government have the election, are, .. to act_ either upon their own unaided, unsupported discretion, or by ' the previous advice of Parlimient, Now, Sir, I hope it will be seen that I have fairly stated the case.— . .(Hear, hear !)-1( there is any one in this House who will maintain the prop. - aition, that the extreme provisions of the Corn Laws may now be , carried into operation, there will be a fair issue between his Mit-- jesty's Ministers and him. Such a one will be a just and fair. antagonist ; and he will be at liberty to say that the whole of oar proposed' course of legislation is vicious. But, until that propo sition shall be maintained—and often as Hon. Gentlemen have been challenged to come forward and support it, no one has been - found to accept the challenge—the reverse may fairly he assumed' as undeniable.—(Hear, hear, hear!)—Why, Sit, even the Hon.. Member for Brecon (Col. Wood), who is the only one Wito has approached any thing near %o maintaining the proposition I have adverted to, even he has varied in his proposals, for he has risen ss. since the last debate in the price at which lie would allow the opening of the port. 4. He, Sir, who would have the Corn Laws permanent anti unaltered, has agreed, pro hac rice, that the restrictive price should be altered .from 80s. to 70s. The other night, Sir, the Hon. Gentleman bad the price down as low as 65a. ; but this morning came a letter to me by post, expressing a hope that I should come into his proposal that 70s. should be the rate at which corn should bar admitted, and all would be well. I suppose, Sir, that the , lion. Gentleman having gone out of town since the last de• bate, and having an opportunity of looking into his field*, thought' that 10$. would look much better than tiss., riot so substituted, without a word. tof comment, •the one sum fot..the other.--(Laughter.)--The least the Hon.
